The Dean Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 A 250 pounder in the trenches??? Belichick is quaking in his shoes over that pick. Doubt it. OTOH, Brady might be.
GOBILLS78 Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 well we just let future hall of famer orakpo go Body Building Hall of Fame?
Fingon Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 The trend in the NFL is toward smallish DE's who are very quick.
Wing Man Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Great pick. an athletic DE/OLB passrusher on a team with none. Now lets go D line again with #28. Agreed. Let's stack that line with talent.
Alphadawg7 Posted April 25, 2009 Author Posted April 25, 2009 Well, I wasnt hoping for Maybin, but now that he is a Bill I am officially on the band wagon...GO MAYBIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BLZFAN4LIFE Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 What I love about this thread is that 80% of the people saying the love/hate the pick probably haven't seen Orakpo or Maybin play a single down. OMG ORAKPO WAS ON MEL'S BOARD>>>>>WE DIDN'T PICK HIM WE SUCK....who'd he play for again? Hey, Orakpo will make too many Pro Bowls for us to afford him anyway.
rockpile Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 A "run stuffer" isn't what the Bills were after. Stop making sense! All you negativers make me freaking ill.
Virgil Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Now I do wish we picked Orakpo. I don't wish a career in Washington on anybody. Sorry kid
dave mcbride Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Agreed. Let's stack that line with talent. OLB - Keith Ellison should not be starting.
Fingon Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Hey, Orakpo will make too many Pro Bowls for us to afford him anyway. Vernon Gholston is making people very scared about taking Orakpo.
2003 Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 I'm tired with how negative you guys are. Maybin is a sick DE I like Maybin... I think the guy is only 20 yrs old and yet he had 12 sacks last year.. Also, Buffalorumblings reported: "We're hearing that they'll be working the phones to try to move up... so stay tuned."
Beerball Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 super quicks. that's the reason why we just drafted him. bringing the pressure Great. Schobel can teach him his run up the field 15 yards past the QB and then attempt the Great Circle Route.
Max997 Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Love it. He's the only one with the athleticism to have a chance at being a special player. Rak is strong, but lumbering, and I think NFL tackles will eat him up. Maybin may take some time to develop, but he's a good roll of the dice. And he's not a one-year wonder. A guy that did nothing during his career and then had a great senior year is a one-year wonder. A guy who puts up the numbers Maybin did (in the way he did) early in his college career is a POTENTIAL a-list player. DE is the worst position to try to figure out in the first round, but I like this. you dont roll the dice with the 11th pick especially a team like the Bills who are not one or two players away its not even close, QB is the worst position to try and figure out in the first round i hate this maybe you should look up his stats before saying he isnt a one year wonder because he didnt do anything until last year
nucci Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 What I love about this thread is that 80% of the people saying the love/hate the pick probably haven't seen Orakpo or Maybin play a single down. OMG ORAKPO WAS ON MEL'S BOARD>>>>>WE DIDN'T PICK HIM WE SUCK....who'd he play for again? Good point. That's why I'm not commenting. Have not seen either play.
H2o Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 I HATE THE BILLS' FO!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE WE JUST TOOK MAYBIN
dave mcbride Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Now I do wish we picked Orakpo. I don't wish a career in Washington on anybody. Sorry kid There was no way that Ralph C. Wilson was going to pay millions to another UT guy after Mike Williams and Dockery. Wasn't happening, no matter how good he is.
MRM33064 Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 I have no clue how any of these players will pan out, but I seem to be asking myself the same question year after year with the Bills. We seem to grab guys well ahead of the consensus of where they "should" go, implying that we could've moved down and received the same pick + some other value.
ndirish1978 Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 We needed to rush the passer and we got the best pass rusher in the draft. Orakpo is a typical Texas guy who will flounder in the pros
John from Riverside Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Did you see how fast the bills made that pick.....this was their guy all along I thank god it was not the fourth best left tackle.....for that I am greatful. We needed pass rush.....we got it. I am just wondering how our DE situation will play out now. Praying for Pettigrou to fall to 28 now....
